Winfield, IL – One of Chicagoland’s brightest holiday attractions is making its return. The popular “Christmas at Cantigny” light show opens Thursday, November 21, transforming Cantigny Park into a glowing winter wonderland.
According to park organizers, guests can stroll a half-mile path of illuminated displays, sip festive cocktails, and snap photos at themed holiday stops throughout the grounds. Highlights include the Fountain Garden Tree, Santa’s Sleigh, and the Freedom Hall Tree—the grand tree inside McCormick’s House, complete with a hidden bar for adults to enjoy.
The family-friendly event has become a seasonal favorite across DuPage County and the western Chicago suburbs, drawing visitors from Wheaton, Naperville, and beyond. Organizers encourage attendees to bring cameras and warm clothing for evening strolls through the glowing park.
The event runs nightly beginning November 21, with tickets and full schedules available on Cantigny Park’s official website and social media pages.
Gather your family, and don’t miss this year’s holiday spectacle at one of Illinois’ most festive destinations.
